well do you think it's possible to have meaningful fun ?
i find drinking, dancing, joking... pretty meaningful. there's nonverbal communication, and it can be meaningful too... the same like silence can be meaningful

well, maybe it depends do you like to dance.

Sure, I think fun is meaningful, but I just don't think bars are fun! For the most part. I like dancing, but only occasionally and usually not at bars. I like swing dancing (there's a great biannual swing dance in a 1940s airplane hangar here in town!!) or other forms of social dancing.

And Mr Sherlock Holmes - we're talking specifically about going out to bars. I think we all agree that going out with friends is enjoyable - just not necessarily to bars. I'll go have coffee or dinner or a walk with a friend, or just go to their place or have them over to hang out. I'll go to other events, like concerts, plays, museums, outdoor stuff, that I enjoy, to spend time with friends, but I don't need to go to a bar.

going out is boring because people who do it are usually boring. that's why they go out and pay $40 for alcohol to become more interesting or $10 for a movie to entertain themselves from their boring brain.
